Although Pearl City was a city, there were many civil officials. However, after the cities in the south fell, it became a military city.
There were many aspects that a Hanlin Academy student could manage. However, the handling of official documents was the worst for Fang Yun.
If he could go to war, he would gain merit.
If he could defend the city, he would have enough military power.
If he could be in charge of military equipment or rations, he would gain a lot of benefits. Moreover, the other armies would have to act according to his mood.
If he was in charge of battle planning, he would have a lot of power.
If he was in charge of training soldiers, it would raise his prestige in the army. It would be extremely beneficial for the future.
Even if he was in charge of carriages, he would have real power.
Only the handling of official documents was different. Official documents and documents were exchanged frequently. It was indeed a confidential position, but it did not have real power. Moreover, it was easy for him to make mistakes and he would often be held accountable.
Now that Marquis Lumen was the highest ranking general here, Fang Yun could either refuse or accept the order. However, the price for refusing was greater.
"Many thanks to Marquis Lumen for entrusting me with such an important task. This official will do his best." Fang Yun said.
"Very good, let's enter the city!" Marquis Lumen stepped forward.
Fang Yun followed behind and secretly heaved a sigh of relief. He thought that Marquis Lumen placing him in the position of handling official documents was not the worst outcome. The worst outcome would be him being placed in the vanguard. If that was the case, it meant that the King Of Chu wanted to get rid of him in a short period of time. This arrangement meant that the King Of Chu wanted to stabilize the situation in the south before killing him.
"The day Marquis Lumen allows me to go to war is probably the day when the King Of Chu wants to kill me." Fang Yun pondered as he entered the city.
The army went straight to the south of the city. Because the southern half of Pearl City was a military stronghold, there were originally two hundred thousand soldiers and all kinds of auxiliary soldiers. Now, there were more than a hundred thousand people.
Fang Yun followed the army and arrived at the command center of Pearl City, the Marquis of Zhujiang's residence.
Then, Marquis Lumen sat in the main seat, while Xun Tianling sat in the guest seat. Fang Yun could only sit in the second seat.
Marquis Lumen sat upright on the big demon leather chair. The generals with the rank of Jinshi or above sat in two rows in the main hall of the mansion of the Marquis of Zhujiang. The rest of the captains stood outside the door.
"Raise the bill!" Wei Changxian's voice resounded like spring thunder, the bugle horn sounded, the war drums thundered, and an austere aura enveloped the entire Pearl City.
Marquis Lumen glanced at the generals and said slowly, "From today onwards, this Marquis of Zhujiang Mansion will be the temporary Marshal Mansion. It will be this marshal's residence!"
Everyone was silent.
"The military meeting has officially begun. This commander has already received information that the Barbarian Race's Silver Barbarian King, Hu Ding, has already secretly entered Lotus Mountain Pass! "Marquis Lumen said.
Everyone present was shocked. Even Fang Yun was surprised.
In the Demon Realm, the Demon Kings and Barbarian Kings were also divided into different levels. The weakest was a newly advanced demon monarch.
The next level was the Holy Statue Demon King. This kind of demon monarch could already summon the power in their bloodline and obtain part of the power of their ancestors. The Demon King's Holy Form's attack in a small area was far more destructive than the battle poems of human scholars. Only a few scholars' writing tables could barely withstand it, but the cost was that the writing tables would be cracked and needed to be nourished before they could be used again.
The Silver Barbarian Demon King was even more powerful than the Holy Statue Demon King. They could hang silver totems above their residence. When a demon monarch of this level attacked. The Qi and blood in his body roiled, like a bright red waterfall flowing in reverse.
Above the Silver Barbarian Demon King was the Golden Barbarian Demon King.
Above that. It was the Peak Demon King. When the Peak Demon King moved his blood and Qi, a black tornado formed by the Qi of Heaven and Earth would surround him.
Fang Yun had fought with demon monarchs in the Blood Ray Ancient Land, but the demon monarchs there were suppressed by the power of the Blood Ray. Most of them were newly advanced demon monarchs. Only a few reached the level of the Holy Statue Demon King. There was no Silver Barbarian Demon King.
But now. There was a Silver Barbarian Demon King on the enemy's side.
Marquis Lumen continued, "I was promoted to Sincerity State Scholar three months ago. My strength has improved compared to before. If I face an ordinary Silver Barbarian Demon King, I'm confident I can win. However, Hu Ding has been promoted to Silver Barbarian Demon King for decades. He's extremely powerful and probably stronger than me. "
Fang Yun quickly compared the human scholars with the Barbarian Demon Kings.
A newly advanced scholar was equivalent to a newly advanced demon king. A Knowledge State Scholar was equivalent to the Holy Statue Barbarian Demon King. A Knowledge State Scholar was equivalent to the Silver Barbarian Demon King. A Sincerity State Scholar was equivalent to the Golden Barbarian Demon King. A Righteous State Scholar was equivalent to a Peak Demon King.
However, a Righteous State Scholar was only equivalent to an ordinary Peak Demon King. If he encountered a Saint Barbarian Demon King, he would be at a disadvantage. If he encountered a Peak Demon King from the Ancestral God Tribe, he would be at a disadvantage.
There were only three Grand Scholars in the Lumen, Qishan and Pearl River armies. Xun Tianling's realm was the lowest. He was a Knowledge State Scholar and had just formed his writing table. Gou Bao was slightly better. He was a Knowledge State Scholar. Marquis Lumen was the highest. He was a Sincerity State Scholar.
There was no powerful Righteous State Scholar in the three armies.
Fang Yun kept thinking.
"The Literary Realm Scholar was born in the literary realm. His strength is not as strong as the people of the Saint Origin World. Marquis Lumen's realm is equivalent to the Golden Barbarian Demon King. In fact, he only has the strength of an ordinary Silver Barbarian Demon King. He will definitely lose if he faces an experienced Silver Barbarian Demon King. This means that the other side has six Barbarian Demon Kings, while we only have three Grand Scholars. The gap between us has widened. No wonder the King Of Chu and Marquis Lumen did not kill me as soon as possible. It was because of the Silver Barbarian Demon King. Once I die, the morale of the Pearl River Army will collapse. The plan that has been planned for many days will go down the drain. "
"I have been working hard these days. After I become a Grand Scholar, I will definitely be able to break through to the Material Realm and condense the Literary Platform. At that time, we will have four Grand Scholars. As long as we can eliminate the Barbarian Demon Kings one by one, we will have a chance to seize the Lotus Mountain Pass and fulfill the King's order. After that, I will lead the Pearl River Army to the Two Boundaries Mountain. However, this is only the best-case scenario. It seems that it will be difficult to achieve it now. "
Not long after, Marquis Lumen said, "With the Silver Barbarian Demon King Tiger Cauldron, it will be extremely difficult for us to take the Lotus Mountain Pass in one go. Now, we can only keep probing and baiting the Barbarian Demon Kings to make mistakes. Once we find the enemy's weakness, we will attack with all our strength and kill one Barbarian Demon King. As long as the enemy only has three Barbarian Demon Kings left, we will be able to drive straight in and seize the Lotus Mountain Pass! "
After Marquis Lumen finished speaking, he asked the generals of Pearl City to give their suggestions.
The generals of the Pearl River Army gave their own suggestions and strategies one after another. Different generals had different opinions and arguments quickly broke out. However, the arguments of each side were very rational and pushed the military meeting in a better direction.
Fang Yun did not know much about the situation in the Pearl River Basin. He listened attentively and recorded the important information at the same time. He stored it in his Wonderland for future reference.
The military meeting lasted until dawn the next day. All the generals slept for an hour before getting up for breakfast. They were still in high spirits.
After breakfast, Fang Yun went to the residence of General Zhang Qingfeng of the Middle Army and called for General Wang Li of the Front Army. The three of them entered the room and released three layers of Literary Courage to isolate the room from the outside world.
